Podcast appearances and mentions of brandon turner

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas break down one of the most talked-about real estate stories in recent memory: Brandon Turner's $15 million real estate mistake.They walk through the history of the deal, what happened, and how an experienced investor can still end up on the wrong side of a major investment. Rather than focusing on the headline number, the guys dig into the real lessons behind the story and why investors at every level—from someone buying their first rental to someone managing a large portfolio—can learn from it.The conversation explores the importance of due diligence, market assumptions, risk management, and how even successful investors can get caught by factors outside of their control. Sam and Lucas also discuss how to think about mistakes in investing, why avoiding every loss is impossible, and how the best investors use setbacks as opportunities to improve their process.Throughout the episode, they connect the lessons from a large-scale deal back to everyday investing decisions, showing how many of the same principles apply whether you're investing thousands of dollars or millions.Adding a little extra fun to the episode, Lucas' son joins the guys during the recording, leading to a few memorable moments and making this one feel a bit different than a typical show.To wrap things up, Sam and Lucas shift into sports and react to the blockbuster trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, discussing the impact on the league, potential winners and losers, and what it could mean for the NBA landscape moving forward.From costly investing lessons to one of the biggest NBA stories of the year, this episode blends real estate insight, practical takeaways, and the candid conversations you've come to expect from the show.Join my PREMIUM real estate community on Skool: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.skool.com/fasterfreedomrelaunchproFasterFreedom Capital Connection: ⁠https://fasterfreedomcapital.com⁠Free Rental Investment Training: ⁠https://freerentalwebinar.com⁠

This week, John Casmon breaks down the lessons behind Brandon Turner reportedly losing $15 million of investor capital, and why the headline misses the point. Rather than pile on or use the story as fuel for fear, John makes the case that apartments and syndications are not the problem. The real issue is understanding how to identify and manage risk. In this episode, John walks through the factors that actually sink deals, the questions every investor must ask before investing, and how to mitigate risk on both the active and passive side.   Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.   Key Takeaways Apartments and syndications are not the problem. The skill that protects you is knowing how to identify and manage risk, which is different for every deal The first question every investor must ask is "How can I lose money on this deal?" so you can uncover, mitigate, and get ahead of risk Interest rates were only part of the story. Insurance and tax increases, especially in Texas and Florida, did just as much damage The loan product has to match the business plan. Bridge debt itself was not the core issue You lose money when cash flow can't cover debt service, so underwrite conservatively and balance aggressive financing with lower leverage Don't assume the environment you buy in is the environment you'll sell in. Cap rates moved far more than the old rules of thumb accounted for Use a tough outcome as a lesson to sharpen your own investing philosophy, not as a reason to sit out Topics Why the $15 Million Headline Misses the Point John opens on the commentary around Brandon Turner reportedly losing $15 million of investor capital, and rejects the "I told you so" victory-lap energy as a loser mentality He acknowledges how hard this is for investors, who put money to work to help their families and reach their financial goals Real estate remains a tried and true wealth vehicle, proven over the last 80 to 100 years and second only to the stock market, with apartments offering scale that's hard to find in single family Apartment syndication as we know it is still relatively new, and the last four to five years brought historic low rates and a wave of new supply, creating a lot of moving pieces The Factors You Can't Control You can't control interest rates or supply, and several forces hit at once that few investors could have predicted Interest rates shot up faster and further than ever in the shortest window on record More supply came online in the last two years than in the previous 40 to 45 years The takeaway is not that apartments or syndications failed, but that investors have to understand the fundamentals well enough to identify and navigate risk, which looks different on every deal The First Question Every Investor Must Ask Before any investment, particularly for passive investors, ask "How can I lose money on this deal?" Asking it is how you uncover where the risk lives, how to mitigate it, how to recognize when things go awry, and how to cut bait if you absolutely have to This is one of the core questions in John's guide, 7 Questions You Must Ask Before Investing in Apartments If you skip this question, you leave yourself blind to the very exposure that takes deals down Why the Loan Has to Match the Business Plan Many of these deals were bought at low rates on variable-rate debt, and those loans repriced coming out of 2021 and 2022 A rate cap is one tool to soften that risk, and John's team used one, but caps got more expensive as rates rose and are not a cure-all John's contrarian take is that bridge debt itself was not the primary problem. The loan product simply has to match the business plan A value-add plan needs the option to refinance or exit, which is why bridge terms are attractive: there's no prepayment penalty, unlike fixed debt where a 2% prepay fee on an early sale could cost hundreds of thousands or millions Where the Real Damage Came From The business plan has to account for variable factors like tax increases, insurance increases, and rent growth, some of which investors could anticipate and some they could not Insurance and taxes spiked alongside rates, especially in markets like Texas and Florida, and likely did as much or more damage than interest rates alone Every investment carries risk, even bonds, and investors are always weighing what's likely against what's not This cycle delivered the unlikely, and that combination is what made these deals so difficult to navigate The Two Ways You Lose Money and How to Mitigate You lose money when there isn't enough cash flow to cover debt service, so build reserves and underwrite conservatively on tax reassessments, insurance, and rental income If you take on bridge debt, offset it by being conservative elsewhere, such as limiting leverage to 60% or even 50% loan to value instead of 80% Don't assume the environment you bought in will be the environment you sell in. The old habit of adding ten basis points to the exit cap broke when cap rates moved 100 to 200 basis points John's team favors markets like the Midwest where taxes, insurance, and claims risk are more predictable, and structures deals so the loan, the operations, and the exit all line up Don't Let One Deal Rewrite Your Game Plan Using a tough outcome to scare people away from passive investing is the wrong response, because for many it's the only practical path to real estate income The better move is to educate, learn from what went sideways, and become a better investor Every entrepreneur experiments, fails, adjusts, and comes back stronger, so define your own investing philosophy rather than abandoning the goal The end game for most people is financial freedom and the flexibility to spend time with the people they love, and the right lessons keep you moving toward it

In this discussion, Jason Hartman and Michael Zuber emphasize that direct residential real estate is the most historically resilient asset class, particularly during periods of high interest rates. By analyzing 54 years of market data, they argue that while transaction volumes may drop when rates rise, home prices rarely collapse due to limited supply and consistent demand. They contrast this stability with the current volatility in commercial and multifamily syndications, where many investors are losing money because of risky debt structures and high management fees. Hartman stresses the importance of maintaining control over investments to avoid the pitfalls of dishonest or incompetent fund managers. He concludes that leveraged rental properties outperform other assets like gold or stocks over the long term. Consequently, Jason and Michael urge individuals to build wealth by buying and managing their own properties rather than participating in passive investment deals.

Every investor has these. The deal they knew was sketchy, and bought anyway. The one where they ignored the red flags. The one where they just flat out didn't know what they were doing yet.In this episode, Cam Cathcart and I each share our three worst deals. What we paid. What went wrong. What it cost us. And what we'd do differently.Cam took an $80,000 loss on a house where the previous flippers hadn't pulled a single permit, meaning he had to gut the entire thing twice. I worked 12 months straight on a duplex, lost $15,000, and then watched that same property hit half a million dollars years later after I'd already sold it at 120.We also talk about what happens when you stop paying attention to a property that's been running fine, why turning down that first weekend offer is almost always a mistake, and why all three of Cam's bad deals were outside his buy box.We don't share these to scare you off. Deals go bad. That's part of it. The goal is just that when yours does, it's not one of these.

I've unfortunately committed every single one of these…The bad deal I knew was bad, but bought anyway. The strategy I abandoned three months in because something shinier came along. The numbers I cooked because I didn't want my mentor to tell me I was wrong.In this episode, Cam Cathcart and I go through the 7 Deadly Sins of Real Estate Investing. These are the mistakes that kill portfolios, waste years, and keep people broke even when the market is working in their favor.Sin 1: Lusting after shiny strategiesSin 2: Gluttony for educationSin 3: Greed for impossible returnsSin 4: Sloth in deal flowSin 5: Wrath towards the marketSin 6: Envy of other investorsSin 7: Pride in your bad mathGo to my Instagram @BeardyBrandon and DM me, TRACKER for the exact habit tracker I use every day, or DM me 3DC to get into my free three-day deal analysis challenge.

Brandon Turner's Class B investors just lost 100 percent of their money on a single Houston deal. We break down who you can actually trust with your money: the spokesperson-versus-operator filter, the cash floor that protects you, why oversharing tanks your loan, and what the Buffett yardstick at 230 percent is signaling about the market.Topics discussed:Introduction (00:00)The Brandon Turner fund just wiped out Class B investors (07:18)Why losing 100 percent in real estate syndications is more common than you think (09:20)The downside math nobody pitching syndications wants to show you (11:01)The cash floor before any swing investment (15:08)Spokesperson vs operator: how to filter the founder you trust (17:29)Eviction speeds and rent-increase rules: Ohio vs Washington (19:29)The Cincinnati hypothetical: would you take a $100K spread with a year of negative cash flow?

My very first employee had never used a computer.I hired her to be my digital assistant. Day one, I said, "Go to your desktop," and she asked what that was.That was hire number one. It got more complicated from there.I've read a lot about hiring. Talked to a lot of people about it. But mostly I've just done it wrong enough times to figure out what actually works. And in this episode, I'm laying out the whole thing: the 10 Commandments of Hiring and Managing a Rockstar Team.We talk about why your first hire is probably not who you think it is. How to run candidates through a process that filters out the wrong people before you're three months in and miserable. What real onboarding looks like versus what most people do, which is basically nothing. And why recruiting is something you should be doing all the time, not just when you're desperate and stressed and need someone yesterday.Hiring is leverage. Get it right, and it compounds. Get it wrong, and you'll feel it for a long time.

You built the business. Good. Now get out of the way.This is the final episode of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint series, and it's about the one thing most people skip mentally, even when they're watching it. Because delegation sounds easy until you're the person who thinks nobody else can do it right.The difference between owning a business and being owned by one.The delegation ladder from automation to full-time hires.How to run a hiring funnel that filters out duds before you ever waste an hour on an interview.SOPs and why building them is the most productive thing you can do, even when it feels like the opposite.The 10-80-10 rule for managing without turning into a micromanager.The operating system that holds your company together when you're not in the room.That's the goal. A business that makes money without requiring your presence every single day.Want the full PDF summary of this entire series?

Most business owners know their revenue.Almost none of them know their actual profit.And that gap? That's how you go broke while feeling busy and successful.In this episode, I'm breaking down the Profit First method that changed how I manage money, why profit has to come out first (not whatever's left over at the end), the simple bank account system that forces financial discipline, and why setting your lifestyle at your peak revenue months is one of the most dangerous things you can do.Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash is reality.This is Part 5 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint. It's the shortest video in the series. Don't skip it.

You built the thing. You validated it. You even have some customers.Now what?Now you have to get in front of people. And this is where most entrepreneurs completely fall apart.You post a few times, hope for word of mouth, and maybe run one ad and give up when it doesn't work. Meanwhile, their competitor, who is half as good, is fully booked because they actually understand marketing.Here's the hard truth: the best product doesn't win. The best-KNOWN product does.In this video I'm going to show you the exact marketing system I used to raise $120 million from regular people online, why your offer matters more than your ads, how to build a funnel that turns a 3x return into a 14x return with the same budget, why your personal brand is the most valuable moat in your business, and why marketing isn't a strategy… it's math.This is Part 4 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint series.

In the last video, you figured out what to build.Now comes the part where most people blow it.They spend four hours building a website. They design a logo. They set up an Instagram account and tell all their friends. They feel like entrepreneurs.But… they haven't talked to a single customer… or made a single dollar.Building a website is cosplay. A logo is cosplay. A business plan is cosplay. A business has customers. A business has revenue. Everything else is just really satisfying procrastination.In this video I'm going to show you the trap that catches almost every entrepreneur (and how to avoid it), why you should be charging people before you even build the thing, the Lean Startup principle that made me a millionaire multiple times over, and how to reverse-engineer a $1M business all the way down to what you need to do this week,.Building it is only 10% of the game. But you can't skip it. Let's get into it.

Everyone wants a million-dollar business idea. Almost nobody realizes they're tripping over them every single day.That's what Part 2 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint Series is all about. Choosing WHAT to build. People who never start aren't lacking ideas, but the ability to recognize the ones already in front of them.In this episode, I walk through how to train your brain to spot problems worth solving, why the boring, unsexy businesses almost always win, and how to niche down without making your market so small there's nobody left to sell to. I also dig into the question I think every entrepreneur in 2026 needs to answer before they commit to anything: Is AI going to make this obsolete?We also check back in with Jake, the composite entrepreneur whose story runs through this whole series. He's picked a junk removal business called Garage Zen, and his reasoning is exactly what I want you to take away from this episode.By the end, you'll have a framework for finding your idea, a filter for pressure-testing it, and no more excuses for waiting.

Last week, I said that married men who aren't financially free and are spending their evenings watching sports and scrolling TikTok while their wives work jobs they hate are being selfish. The internet did not love that.But here's the thing. Plenty of people read it and thought, " He's right”. I want financial freedom. I just don't know how to get there.This series is for those people.Over six episodes, I'm laying out the complete blueprint for building a business that does a million dollars a year in profit.Part 1 is all about the mental game, because that's where most people fail before they ever write a business plan or pitch a single customer. I walk through why comfort is literally designed to keep you stuck, why being decisive matters more than being smart, what Seth Godin's concept of "the dip" means for your business, and why consistency will always beat intensity over the long haul.I also introduce Jake and Maria, a composite of real entrepreneurs I've worked with over the years, whose story runs through the entire series. By the time we're done, you'll know exactly what to do next.

I've read somewhere around 300-400 business and self-development books. I highlight them, take notes, and build systems out of them. I'm like a productivity nerd with a real estate habit.But most of those books, while good, didn't actually change what I do on a Monday morning. These three did.In this episode, I break down the exact 3-book stack that took me from grinding 60-hour weeks with no direction to building a real estate portfolio worth over a billion dollars. And more importantly, I give you the system for actually applying them so you can do more in the next 6 months than most people do in 10 years.The three books are Vivid Vision by Cameron Harold, The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, and Traction by Gino Wickman. Each one solves a specific reason people fail at big goals. Stack them together, and it's a completely different game.Try the free AI vision tool mentioned in the episode: firstdeal.com/visiontool

I never seriously considered assisted living until I sat down with Mitch Conrad. He's a former high school math teacher who built a portfolio of 22 homes and 650 beds, and he basically broke my brain for an hour.The best homes in his portfolio clear $20,000 a month in profit on a single house. You own the real estate and the business at the same time, so you're stacking tax benefits and cash flow in a way that normal rentals just can't touch.And the timing is wild. The average age for assisted living is 85, and the oldest baby boomers aren't even there yet. By 2035, beds needed versus beds available will be 7 to 1. The wave is coming, and almost nobody is positioned for it.Cam and I are in after this conversation. Come find out why.Go find your deals at cashflowisntdead.com Need funding for your next deal?

Everyone keeps saying cash flow is dead.They're right about one thing: the old spot doesn't work anymore. Higher prices, higher rates, and a market that moved on while most investors were still staring at the MLS.But cash flow isn't dead. The light moved. And in this episode, I'm going to show you exactly where it went.Here's what we're getting into:Why traditional buy-and-hold math is genuinely broken in most markets right nowThe fringe strategies producing 2x the income on the exact same property How co-living turns one house into 3 to 5 rent checks every month Why cash flow doesn't only go to people who own buildings Stop waiting.

Most people think flipping houses is simple math.Buy low. Rehab. Sell high. Profit.Here's the truth after 600+ flips: that math is wrong. And it's why most first-time flippers either break even or lose money on deals they thought were home runs.In the next 40 minutes, Cam Cathcart and I are breaking down exactly how to structure a flip that actually hits $50,000 in profit.Here's what you're getting:Why your spread is not your profit (and the hidden costs gutting your margins)The Buy Box framework that filters bad deals before you waste a single hourHow to find a deal in the next 30 days, even if you know nobodyThe flywheel problem killing most flippers, and how to fix itHard money, private money, and how to fund deals without any of your own cashStop waiting.

Most people think building wealth takes decades of grinding, endless books, and slowly accumulating knowledge.But here's what I learned after becoming a millionaire many times over: The people who actually get rich just acquire the right skills faster.In this episode, I'm breaking down the five specific skills that made me millions.Here's what you're getting:How to use AI as a strategic thought partner (not just Google 2.0)The 10-10-10 decision framework that kills analysis paralysisGoal alignment that stops your dreams from competing against each otherDelegation that actually worksA hiring system that saves you from $50K+ mistakesPick one skill and implement it this week. Things will start to change.

Many people spend 40+ years grinding toward retirement… then they die six months before they get there.I know that sounds harsh. But I watched it happen to someone close to me, and it completely changed how I think about money, time, and freedom.The truth is, you don't need to be rich at 72. You need to be free while your kids still want to hang out with you. While you still have energy. While life is actually happening.This isn't another "save $200/month for 50 years" video. This is about calculating your Freedom Number—the exact amount of monthly income that would make work optional—and then using three specific levers to hit that number decades earlier than you thought possible.It's not complicated. It doesn't require winning the lottery or inventing an app. It just requires rethinking everything you've been told about retirement and being willing to aim at different targets.

I brought an AI expert to Maui last week who's raised over $117 million using AI. And he thinks all the scientists screaming about AI doom are missing the point entirely.Joe Stolte joined Cam and me to answer the question I've been losing sleep over: Are we all dead because of AI?Here's what's wild: the people screaming the loudest about AI destroying humanity? They've never actually built anything. They're catastrophizing because it's easier to imagine terrible futures than create positive ones.Meanwhile, regular people who understand AI are quietly automating their businesses, raising millions with AI-generated pitch decks, and scaling faster than ever before.In this episode:Why your brain is wired to fear AI (and why that's costing you money)The newspaper headlines that said electricity would "destroy humanity" (sound familiar?)Joe's 5-step framework: Learn AI → Use AI → Build with AI → Teach AI → Scale with AIHow he raised $117M using AI to create pitch decks and presentationsReal examples of how AI is replacing jobs (and why that's actually good news)The Dan Sullivan story: Why we're terrible at predicting the future but great at attaching meaning to thingsHow to use AI right now even if you're scared or skepticalWhile everyone's arguing about whether AI will kill us, your competition is using it to automate, scale, and get rich.DM me the word "BEARD" and I'll send you all the resources mentioned in the episode.

I had two millionaire real estate investors visit Maui last week. So naturally, we sat down and recorded a podcast.Craig Curelop (house hacking legend, founder of The FI Team) and Mike Brockway (luxury short-term rental expert) joined Cam and me to talk about the single pieces of advice that completely changed our financial trajectories.Here's what's wild: none of us became millionaires because we worked harder. We became millionaires because someone gave us advice that shifted how we thought about building wealth.In this episode:The BiggerPockets forum post that changed my entire life (and why I still have it printed out 20 years later)Why the "bucket vs. pipeline" story from Cashflow Quadrant made me a MULTI-millionaireCraig's house hacking journey and why "living like no one else" is more than just frugalityMike's short-term rental empire and the power of getting around the right peopleCam's BRRRR breakthrough (and why it doesn't work the same way in 2026)The difference between advice that makes you a millionaire vs. advice that makes you a MULTI-millionaireWhy systems beat hustle every single timeHow to surround yourself with people who make the impossible look like a Tuesday morningThe thread throughout this entire conversation? None of this was complicated. But it required us to actually listen and implement instead of just nodding our heads.REI Summit 2026 is happening April 1–3 in Austin, Texas.

This episode has no agenda… and that's why it works!We bounce from ADUs and co-living to 2026 goal-setting to the rarely discussed reality of working with your spouse, not because we planned to, but because these topics are quietly connected by the same question: How do you design a life that actually works?What starts as a practical conversation about housing flexibility turns into a bigger discussion about tradeoffs—space, money, time, ambition, and relationships. We talk about why some “smart” ideas fall apart in real life, why certain goals lose their appeal as your life changes, and why mixing marriage and business can either sharpen everything… or expose every crack.If you like real conversations that don't fit into neat buckets, make sure to hit FOLLOW

At 24, I was broke and stuck. I was doing everything I thought I should be doing—but nothing was working.Then I started spending time with actual millionaires. And I realized something: they weren't successful because of what they did. They were successful because of what they stopped doing.So I started eliminating behaviors that kept me broke. Combined with the right actions, I became a millionaire.In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact behaviors you need to eliminate if you want to break out of being stuck and broke.Fair warning: if you get triggered at any point, good. That means you needed to hear it.Millionaire-level growth doesn't come from comfort. It comes from confronting the parts of your life you've been avoiding.In this episode:Stop waiting for motivation (discipline beats feelings)Stop hanging with people who don't want moreStop spending like you're already richStop blaming your circumstancesStop consuming junk (food, media, information)Stop negotiating with your weaknessStop expecting overnight success…and 13 more behaviors that keep you brokeNone of this is complicated. But it requires you to actually stop—not just nod your head and keep doing the same thing.

We did something different this week. We took our weekly Bottleneck Breakthrough call with 25 tribe members and recorded it live as a podcast episode.Real questions. Real answers. No scripts.In this live Q&A session with Cam Cathcart, we answer:What market dynamics should I look for to start co-living/room rentals?How do I get my Virtual Assistant to actually help me scale my business?How do I buy 11+ properties with seller financing without going broke?What's the best strategy for finding off-market deals in 2025?How do I organize corporate formalities and LLC meeting minutes?BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: Your business is just a collection of processes. Define them. Hand them to people who crush at that type of work. Scale.

Ted and Owen recap a goal-planning lunch session featuring Brandon Turner, Collin Schwartz, and Vince Gettings (Titan Group), and get real about what actually works when setting goals: process goals vs. outcome goals. Because “lose 20 pounds” isn't a plan—it's a wish. Ted breaks down his approach: start with the big vision, then work it down into 90-day goals, monthly targets, weekly priorities, and daily “rocks” that keep momentum moving even when life gets chaotic.They also hit the constant entrepreneur tug-of-war: building what you love (community, podcast, events) vs. building what pays the bills—plus why some “loss leader” work can still be worth it if it fuels the bigger mission. They wrap with what's coming next, including the REIA Mastery Series event on January 16 with five keynote speakers, a full-day format, and 6 Nebraska real estate CE credit hours for licensed agents. The episode closes with a preview of an upcoming interview with local investor and business owner Jay Miralles—the kind of convo that would've gone two hours if they didn't have a hard stop.If you keep saying, “I can't delegate because training takes too long,” start screen-recording what you do (and why you do it).

Pedro Adao went from begging God to kill him to building a $50 million business.And it wasn't because he worked harder. It was because he stopped doing business like everyone else and started doing it God's way.In this episode, Pedro breaks down what actually happened during his bankruptcy, why he hired a mentor when he couldn't afford groceries, and how he doubled his income the same year he gave himself a 40% pay cut.We also get into the stuff most people won't talk about: Why most pastors shouldn't be pastors. How to know if you're building wealth for the right reasons. What God actually thinks about money.This conversation went deep. If you've ever felt conflicted about making money as a believer, you need to hear this.
